There's an old man in our town lyrics

There's an old man in our town

And I guess he's been around

For years and years

At least it seems that way

Wrinkled hands and rocking chair

Growing old just sitting there

Every year he had the sing

For youth to say

Youth only happens to you one time

An so I've been told

If you should miss it in your youngtime

Have it when you're old

Now there's no old man sitting there

Just an empty rocking chair

But the things he said

Will always be around

Someday when I'm old and grey

Maybe youth can come my way

I'll be proud to be

The old man in our town

And I'll say: youth only .....
